out of pure interest how much does the sound deading weigh when its taking out ? always interested in how much weight you would save by stripping out a s14 totally /rear seats/carpet/trim etc?
way2fastforu
14-05-12, 20:05
@nick thanks dude ya the colour is savage alrite...haha the 206 vents...ill either be weldin in plates to fill the holes in or replacin the vent wit some black mesh either way the 206 vents will be goin!

@20vees it weighs a good bit all iv done so far is the floor on the drivers side an the flat part under the back seats an the bag i was throwin the deadenin into weighs 15pounds an thats literally all thats in the bag so its a decent bit of weigh savin wen its all out
didnt weigh the carpets an plastics but they'd be heavy enough bundled together
